EBR hazardous material drop off set

East Baton Rouge Parish residents can drop off household hazardous materials for safe disposal at the upcoming Household Hazardous Materials Collection Day on Saturday, March 10, from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. at Memorial Stadium in Baton Rouge.

City-Parish Recycling Director Susan Hamilton said the event is only for the collection of residential hazardous materials, and workers will not accept materials generated by businesses and other commercial sources, or by people who live outside the parish, according to a news release.

All vehicles entering the drop-off site will be stopped to verify that the occupants are East Baton Rouge residents. In addition, the items to be dropped off will also be checked to make sure they are among the household hazardous materials that are being accepted.
